Equilibrium Forcing: Adaptive Video Generation Without Noise Conditioning

Standard autoregressive video generation algorithms based on Diffusion and Flow Matching rely on rigid training objectives and static sampling schedules, limiting inference procedures from adapting to the data. We introduce Equilibrium Forcing (EqF), a simplified framework for video denoising generative models without noise level conditioning. EqF pioneers modular training- and inference-time designs for noise-unconditional generation that decouple learning the denoising field from sampling. This flexibility allows for inference-time algorithms that operate in a closed loop by adapting to feedback from the sample, improving video quality and consistency on challenging autoregressive video generation benchmarks. Extensive analysis elucidates exactly how removing the noise level conditioning enables EqF's data-dependent inference properties to surpass the performance of standard noise level-conditional denoising video methods.

PATH: Next-Interval Prediction via Autoregressive Tree Hierarchy on Tabular Data

Interval prediction aims to achieve a target coverage level while producing intervals that are as short as possible. Many conformal regression pipelines first predict an uncertainty surrogate and then convert it into an interval through calibration or selection. This separation supports coverage calibration, but post hoc rules largely determine the final interval and do not fully use the learned output distribution. We observe that the resulting intervals have inherently hierarchical geometry: an interval can be recursively refined into nested subintervals, and binary trees naturally represent this structure. We formulate this hierarchy as next-interval prediction and propose PATH, which learns how probability mass flows from each interval to its next nested subintervals. PATH predicts a base leaf distribution and uses an autoregressive decoder to refine branch probabilities. Matching the distribution to the interval hierarchy aligns learning with extraction: PATH accumulates probability over adjacent output intervals and returns the shortest contiguous range reaching a selected mass. We compare PATH with 24 baselines for interval prediction on PATHBench, comprising 56 OpenML regression datasets. PATH substantially shortens the resulting intervals, achieving the lowest mean normalized length, 0.1473, while maintaining mean coverage of 0.9144. These results establish hierarchical output modeling as an effective approach for compact interval prediction on tabular data. Code is publicly available at https://github.com/pxcai/PATH.

Stable Autoregressive Speech Generation with Low-Frame-Rate High-Dimensional Continuous Tokens

Balancing sequence length, representational capacity, and long-horizon stability is a central problem in autoregressive (AR) speech and audio generation. Representations with higher frame rates or greater capacity can preserve more signal detail, but they also make streaming generation more vulnerable to distribution drift and AR error accumulation. Conversely, shorter and more compressed representations simplify AR modeling, but their limited bandwidth may discard important components and constrain the upper bound of reconstruction fidelity and generation quality. We ask whether a low-frame-rate, high-dimensional, high-bandwidth continuous representation can be co-designed with a streaming generation framework to support robust high-fidelity reconstruction, strong single-token predictability, and superior long-horizon stability. We decompose this goal into two coupled problems: what geometric and statistical properties a high-dimensional representation space should have, and how an AR continuous-token generator should be structured to resist error accumulation. Accordingly, we propose Locodec, a locally encoded codec that shapes its representation space to improve the interpolatability of a lower-dimensional core manifold and the identifiability of the native high-dimensional coordinates, thereby improving the predictability of high-dimensional high-bandwidth tokens. We also propose MP-ELD, a single-token AR flow-matching framework that uses multi-path information routing and residual classifier-free guidance to mitigate error accumulation. Experiments with 8-Hz, 768-dimensional tokens show that our design preserves reconstruction quality, improves single-token predictability, achieves competitive WER, and maintains stable long-form synthesis, without using external SSL/ASR models, pretrained text language models, or post-training stages.

Streaming Multi-Agent Autoregressive Diffusion Model with World State Registers

Multi-agent interactive world models should not only generate consistent observations, but also maintain world states that persist across agents and evolve across views. Existing autoregressive video diffusion pipelines carry forward observation history as conditioning context, which makes shared state difficult to maintain in multi-agent and multi-view settings. We present WorldWeaver (W^2), a streaming multi-agent video diffusion model that augments rollout with cross-agent world state registers: learnable tokens that store shared world information, track individual agent status, and are dynamically updated after each generated chunk. We ground these registers with supervision signals spanning individual agent status, global state views including bird's-eye views, and scene text. We further improve the architecture with a Mixture-of-Transformers design that uses separate weights for world state modeling and visual frame modeling. Extensive experiments in two-agent Minecraft video generation show that explicit world-state modeling improves logical consistency and generation quality.

Video-Mirai: Autoregressive Video Diffusion Models Need Foresight

Causal video generators must predict from the past, but they need not learn only from it. In streaming autoregressive video diffusion, each emitted segment becomes a commitment that future segments must preserve. Standard training, however, only asks each causal state to explain the present. This creates what we call a representation-level planning gap: states that fit the current segment may discard identity, layout, and motion information needed for a consistent future. We introduce Video-Mirai, a training-only method that closes this gap without changing causal inference: the generator rolls out causally, a frozen foresight encoder reads the completed rollout non-causally, and a lightweight predictor distills the resulting stopped-gradient targets into causal states. Future frames supervise representations, never generator inputs. At inference, the encoder and predictor are discarded, leaving the original architecture, per-step FLOPs, and KV-cache behavior unchanged. Video-Mirai improves a strong Causal-Forcing baseline on 5-second VBench from 83.8 to 84.6 in terms of Total Score. On 30-second rollouts beyond the training horizon, subject consistency improves from 84.9 to 88.5 and background consistency from 90.2 to 91.9. Ablations identify future-conditioned targets as the key ingredient, and probes show that future frames become more decodable from current features. Causality should constrain inference, not representation supervision. Our study highlights that visual autoregressive models need foresight. Project page: https://y0uroy.github.io/Video-Mirai.
